EATING LESS ONLINE

INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR

TESTIMONIALS

“I can sense the shift in my thought process and I am no longer grazing from the fridge all night.”
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

“This is the only book I have seen with something new to say about compulsive eating. There are no fads or magic wands in this book, just straight, can’t argue reality, and lots and lots of help.”
AC

“EATING LESS has provided me with a light at the end of a tunnel on many occasions. Overeating is not something that is commonly recognised as an addiction such as smoking or drugs. However, once you start to view overeating in this way, everything falls into place.”

I’m Overeating Because

I’m thinking you’re probably reading this blog (and not one about exercise or genetics) because you already believe the overeating theory. But what about other beliefs, especially the beliefs you hold about why you overeat?

I wonder, for example, about a range of beliefs regarding the effect of food on health. I know the messages have been mixed and more than a little confusing and contradictory. But does this mean that what we eat has no impact at all on the state of our health? Surely beliefs such as these would have profound influences on food choices.

A few other beliefs to consider:

I don’t have enough willpower

I don’t have enough self-esteem

It’s so difficult to eat less I could never keep it up for long

I’m too busy to think about it

Making changes will upset my family and friends

I’m not clever enough

I’ve never been able to manage it before.

Do any of these seem familiar? If so, they could be precisely what’s standing in your way, either of making a start or of taking what you’ve already achieved on to a new level.

In light of all this, one comment at the end of a paper about treating Binge Eating Disorder made me laugh. The researchers concluded,

“Studies on BED treatment are burdened by several limitations… such as the placebo response.”

For them, finding that the mind plays such a significant role is considered a problem! (4)

Far from being a burden, here lies the solution. Yes, this solution requires some thought, but it’s completely free from dangerous side effects, and once addressed correctly, is real and therefore lasting.
